Description : Abstract Deborah Wang reports on the vice-presidential debate between Lloyd Bentsen (Democratic vice-presidential candidate) and Dan Quayle (Republican vice-presidential candidate). Wang reports that the candidates failed to debate any issues related to the African American community and minority voters. Wang reports that there was no discussion of drugs, urban unemployment, housing, or discrimination. Wang's report includes footage from the vice-presidential debate. Wang reports that African American community leaders were disappointed in the debate because there were no minorities represented on the panel of questioners. Wang interviews Dr. Kenneth Edelin (NAACP Legal Defense Fund) and Mickey Leland (US Congressman from Texas) about the lack of minority participation in the debate. Wang reports that the many leaders at an NAACP Legal Defense Fund luncheon were dissatisfied with the Dukakis campaign. Wang's report includes footage of the NAACP luncheon and footage of Bruce Bolling (Boston City Council) talking about the need for the candidates to address urban issues. Wang reports that many minority voters supported Jackson for president. She notes that Dukakis will have to make an effort to bring minority voters to the polls on election day. Wang's report includes footage of Jackson campaigning. Contributor : Reporter Deborah Wang
